would this work to put potatoes or onions in?

Yes, if their diameter is less than 3-7/8". However, the back end of the rack is not directly supported and would probably sag over time given the weight of those vegetables, unless you were to support the back end by using a short screw to hold it up against the supporting shelf. That would make the rack a little harder to slide onto and off of the shelf, if that is your intention (i.e., rotating the items to use the oldest first).

I would't think so as the are more like cooked onions, unless that is what you want.

Hi, I never used it for onions but it should work. Only use the juices for pomogrante juice. Rainer

I don't think I would try potatoes, but if you did make them small and not to thick. This chopper does great with vegetables, and any firm fruit (no seeds). I love this chopper.

I believe at the answer would be no. I takes strength to cut the potato. We use it to cut jalapenos, onions and other smaller vegetables. Works fine for the smaller vegetables.

depending on the onion, yes. large vidalias can be rather tight. I trim to fit if need be.5" diameter

I think it depends in what you are going to do with potato. For "Rösty" or "lapkes" it may work, but it think you may damage the zester, it will take you a lot of time. I don't recommend it for potatos

Absolutely! Great at making thin potato slices and lots of other veggies. We use ours almost daily.

Well, I use mine for like onions, potatoes, I don't buy too much usually around 4 or 5. But I have the baskets hanging from a anchor ceiling hook, so I figure about medium weight, I don't put anything very heavy in them.

It can be as long as you are using small fillets and spray with non stick...or put tin foil in it. It is GREAT for veggies coated in some olive oil and seasoned...best veggies ever, as well as potatoes.

I haven't tried that, but it probably wont fit. I put onions lemons and whatever else in the tower and it worked and was great.

I don't imagine so. It is a little lite for that. However is works great to put Bar B Que in and cover with foil and return to the pit until ready to serve. I've also stored potato salad in the fridge for parties. Very roomy

For carrots it works, since they have not as large a diameter as sweet potatoes. I have used this a couple of times for carrots and cucumber. For sweet potatoes I would think it takes a huge effort of force - so you have to be very strong - and they might get mashed. But I have not tried this.

I use it for cabbage, carrots, onion, potato, any hard vegetable. No problem.

No, I wouldn't recommend this for anything but citrus fruit. Bryan's suggestions are good, or you might consider a vegetable juicer. There is a Kitchenaid attachment for fruit/vegetable juicing which might work on onions.

Yes I've used it for sweet potatoes. Some can be really big like potatoes so you just have to cut it down to fit.

No, a regular size onion will fit. But it may chop better if cut in half.This is a great chopper, I do chicken and other meats in it too. The picture makes it look smaller than it is.It would easy hold 4 lemons in the bowl, not that you would chop lemons just the size of the bowl.Bill Ramsey
